Description
Lateral Organ Boundary Domain (LBD) transcription factors are specific of plants and are involved in the control of development. One LBD clade is related to the control of root development (Coudert et al., 2013, Mol. Biol. Evol. 30, 569-572). Belonging to this clade, CROWN ROOT LESS 1 controls the initiation of crown roots in rice (Inukai Plant Cell, 17, 1387-1396, Liu et al., 2005, Plant J., 43, 47-56). The aim of this study was to identify the genes that are regulated by CRL1.
